Citizens who also wish to be warned in case of emergencies such as a major fire or gas leak can register via the BE-Alert website. One can opt to receive information via SMS, email, or phone, and register multiple addresses, for example, for the area around their workplace or that of a family member.
With the new brochure Samen voorbereid (Together Prepared), the National Crisis Centre aims to help citizens adopt the correct reflexes before, during, and after an emergency situation.
